55 year old widow, Irene Dolton (nee Smith), kept a diary while living in Ludlowville, NY with Mother & Aunty in 1936.

Sunday, January 26, 1936
Sunday plesant but cold
Made elderberry pie^ this A.M
Done all the chores-
Harry Baker came at noon
brought chunks of wood* and 2 bushels of potatoes and 2 qts milk
Iliff came this eve-
Mother has been pretty good-
*This seems to confirm my suspicion that Irene was heating with wood, not coal, but we will have to wait & see. The wood could be just for cooking.

Thanks for visiting this flashback to 1936. I'm sure Irene would be pleased! We'd love to hear from you.
